CTA Image Popup

The CTA Image Popup is an On-Site template that shows one image with a call-to-action (CTA) button on top of your web page. Use it to promote a product, collect sign-ups, or send visitors to a specific page.

You can build the popup in the Dengage On-Site Visual Editor and then use it in a Flow campaign or a Real-time Targeting campaign.
